“If he hadn’t lied, he would likely have been struck from the jury.”

Mitchell told the court that he supported BLM.

The defense team knew he supported BLM and did not object to his being seated on the jury.

That was a mistake and the defense cannot go to an appeals court and say that they were unaware that Mitchell was BLM.

Are you that dense? His support of BLM is not the issue. His attendance at a rally/protest against police excessive force/brutality and his lying about it is.

The fact that he supports BLM is irrelevant.
